The past few mornings have not been good for my blood sugar levels.  Sunday morning, I woke up and tested at 242, Monday was 212, Tuesday was about 250, and then this morning it was at 361.  This morning’s I can understand a little because when I went to bed it was 272, but I took some insulin to cover it.

On Monday night for example, it was 74 when I went to  bed, so I took a little snack and bam I wake up at about 250.  I know I should be waking up at like 3 in the morning to see where I am at, but I don’t really want to wake up at that time when I just went to bed 3 hours earlier and have to get up in 3 1/2 hours after that.

I know there has to be a cause for it, so I will start to set an alarm to wake up at that time and test, because something is obviously wrong with the basal rate that is set for the middle of the night.  When I first set them, we were a little cautious with them, because my doctor would rather me be a little high through the night than get a low in the middle of the night.  I have adjusted them up a little bit, but not too much.  I think it may be time to make a larger adjustment to the basal rate.

I see my doctor/educator in less than a month, so hopefully I have some good numbers for her for us to discuss these crazy levels.  Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody!
